Installing Big Sur on Dell G3 15 Gaming (3500) Black (i5)

O.K. I adjusted as instructed, please check to see if it's OK.
If so, should I upload this new EFI to the X64 file and then upload the entire directory to a USB boot?
To make Boot USB look like this; USB boot / image Install macOS Big Sur + OpenCore folder and Docs + IA32 + Utilities + X64 folders in it?
If so, can I try to install Big Sur?

You just need to put this EFI in your USB EFI partition. That's it.
 
But the USB boot I created is just a image Install macOS Big Sur, there's nothing else there that I'm doing wrong?

You need to mount the EFI partition of the USB and then copy the EFI to the EFI partition. Eject the USB and then boot.
 
I mounted the EFI, put it in a newly modified one, and tried to do the installation. I tried it 3 times but each time it ended in failure, there is a mistake somewhere. I enclose the screens of the installation attempt.

Well, the OC is loading. I don't see an issue here. Select Install macOS Big Sur (external) and press enter to boot and the installer should load. Maybe you can record a video for further debugging.
 
I had the procedure correctly, I chose external and the installation was not successful. I made the video, but it's too big 1.3GB :-(

Use Google Drive to upload.
